Cetus 5mg/5ml Syrup is used to treat various kinds of allergies. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body.

At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

In short, it helps to relieve the discomfort and unpleasant symptoms that occur due to allergic conditions, like blocked/runny/itchy nose, red/watery eyes, and skin rashes.
